Living Deltas Hub Events
LIVING DELTAS HUB VIETNAM WEBINAR
Securing a Sustainable Future for Delta Dwellers
15th October 2020 07.30 - 09.00 UK / 13.30 -15.00 VN
The UKRI GCRF Living Deltas Hub aims to safeguard delta futures through more resilient communities and sustainable development. The research Hub operates on a model of equitable partnership with delta-dwellers and the research community working together to develop new knowledge and policies. The Hub is part of UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) pioneering and ambitious approach to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges through its Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).
The Hub is comprised of 19 research institutions representing seven nations; in Vietnam over the next four years our Vietnamese partners will be contributing to and providing research leadership in an international, multidisciplinary team of over 120 academics working on an equal basis across the natural sciences, social science and the arts and humanities to work towards more sustainable and resilient delta futures.
This webinar is an integral part of our activities to build our partner and stakeholder network towards sustainable policy development underpinned by interdisciplinary expertise, environmental monitoring and equitable partnerships with delta communities, government agencies, NGOs and policymakers towards better delta futures for all who live upon them.
